Once more, to recap. Ellison played his first two years at St. John’s, before deciding to transfer. Kevin Stallings successfully convinced him to choose Pitt. He had to sit last season per transfer rules, but did not lose any eligibility. Following Stallings firing, he was one of the overwhelming majority of Pitt players to request and receive their release.
If Ellison transferred again, though, he would still have to sit out another year; and lose a year of eligibility.
